Week 44 & 45

      Week 44
   This Week on Elder Silva's mission it was alright. We had planned a Baptism for a young man named Juan Daniel who is the sickest kid but his mom didn't give him permission. But she said that we can still teach him, so we are going to teach his whole family and hopefully they all get baptized! This week we also are teaching a girl named Gloria who is very excited to get baptized this Saturday and it's going to be very special because her mom wanted her to get baptized but she didn't want to initially but now she wants to. We had an Idea that no one was going to tell her mom and she will go to the church and see her daughter in all white! I hope her mom doesn't get a heart attack because she is kinda old lol but I cant wait to see her reaction :D 

The scripture that I'm going to memorize this week is:

        And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. 

            1 Nephi 3:7

     Week 45
      This week on Elder Silva's mission it was amazing and a little funny. So first I would like to talk about a drastic experience. I didn't get bit by dog on the mission but I got bit by a dang PARROT!!!!! In the ear and it hurt, I started to bleed :( 

But other than that this Saturday was very spiritual, Gloria got baptized and her mom got baptized this year. Before her mom wanted Gloria to get baptized but Gloria didn't want to so her mom was very sad. Until one day we visited Gloria and taught her and by surprise she wanted to get baptized so we made a plan that no one was going to tell her mom about the baptism. This Saturday was the baptism and we surprised her mom when she saw her daughter she couldn't believe it and the y both started to cry. It was very special and I'm so happy that I could be part of it :D 

Week 43

This week on Elder Silva's mission it was spectacular. First we are teaching a young kid named Juan and he is amazing. He started to go to church with one of the members and he loved it. This week we had general conference which helped me find ways to improve myself and help others . Juan went to all four sessions and when he saw that we took a notebook and started to write things in the first session; he also then took his own notebook and started to write the things that he understood lol. Even though he is a young kid I've learned so much from him and he is preparing to get baptized :)  One of the things that I'm started to do is Elder Devin G. Durants  invitation for everyone to memorize one scripture a week. So this is the scripture that I'm memorizing:  

And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth. 

                                        1 Nephi 22:26
